I have great fun running for blocks on the back wheel of my WR450 dirtbike but lately (winter hybernation for the Harley at the moment), I have been thinking about the Night Train doing wheelies.

Would this big pig (Hog) come off the ground or just lay some rubber? Bike is stock but for stage one pipes and breather.

Looking at this Roadking pooping up like that has me wondering.

 

Probably so if you have the skills to do it ???

 

Sure will without a problem, But unlike a dirtbike if you screw up it will be very costly. But if you have the ***** go for it and get a vid so we can see to.

 

I've done it on my Ultra with my girl on the back. Pulled the front wheel up at least 2 feet. It has Stage I with cams. After replacing my clutch with a barnett clutch, it really hooked up. Can really only pull a wheelie with my girl on the back, otherwise it just lights up the tire...which is cool too, except when its time for new tires.

 

My buddy had a neighbor that would pop up his Electra Glide at will,it's a skill.

 

Watch out for that pooping Road King.
Like others said, if you got the skills, you can clutch up your bike, but you'll need some good traction under that back tire....won't do it on gravel.

I had a 30/70 sprocket set on my Dyna until last week (stock it was 32/66) the setup also shortened the wheelbase by 1" with the stock belt. My modded 103" motor would pull low power wheelies by blipping the gas in first....

I think you got that backwards...it's when your tire is worn out and you don't care to preserve it any longer that you abuse it!!!
OTOH, if you have spokes and abuse the rear wheel like that very often, you're either rich or an idiot. I do, however, regret not doing a big ol' burnout before replacing the back tire!!! Missed my opportunity!

 

If my tire has low tire prussure like around 9 pounds it will pull wheelie all day long and it gets hooked up. Just would not go out on the roads with low of tire pressure. I found this out went I was getting a flat.
